1
Q

Synovial Fluid

A

Similar in compostion to blood plasma without the proteins. Bathes the joint to permit frictionless motion.

2
Q

Joint Capsule

A

Made of dense irregular collagenous connective tissue and provides strength ans structural reinforcement for the joint. It is lined by the synovial membrane.

3
Q

Articular Cartilage

A

The articulating ends of the bones are covered with articular cartilage, usually hyaline cartilage. The cartilage provides a smooth, nearly frictionless surface for articulation.

4
Q

Ligaments

A

The bones in the synovial joint are held together by ligaments that further reinforce the joint.

5
Q

The knee joint is a… (Structurally)

A

Synovial Joint because is has a true joint cavity and consist of two bones whose articular ends are covered with hyaline cartilage.

6
Q

The knee joint is a… (Functionally)

A

Diarthroses because it is a freely movable joint.

7
Q

Fibrous joint

A

Consist of bons joined by short connective tissue fibers. Most allow no motion.

8
Q

Cartilaginous Joint

A

Consist of bones united by cartilage rather than fibrous connective tissue. Most cartilaginous joints allow some motion.

9
Q

Synarthroses

A

Immovable joints

10
Q

Amphiarthroses

A

Joints that allow some motion

11
Q

What is the purpose of the Menisci of the Knee?

A

For stabilization

12
Q

What undesirable movement does the ACL prevent?

A

To prevent hyperextension of the knee.

13
Q

What undesirable movement does the PCL prevent?

A

Prevents posterior displacement of the tibia on the femur.
